Born in 1898 in Bonito, Italy, Salvatore Ferragamo is one of the most celebrated shoemakers of the last century. As apropos today as they were 50 years ago, his key innovations include the cage heel and the ballerina flat, which was created for actress Audrey Hepburn. Each meticulously produced Salvatore Ferragamo shoe is handcrafted by master cobblers using a traditional process that requires 320 steps and more than four hours of labor. Beyond footwear, the company is renowned for its line of leather accessories and silk scarves, often detailed with the instantly recognizable horseshoe-shaped Gancini logo.
